vehicle in which an East-side baby is carted
about is too primitive to shoulder 80 big an
appellation as baby-carriage. 1t consists of
q big grocery box with wooden wheels, or,
as frequently, none ut all. The little I'M
fortunate is crammed into il and bumped
along over the sidewalk. As n hardening
process for his tender frame il is n tremendous
success, one that Spartan mothers might
have yearned for. Castigation in later years
to one of their toughened children is robbed
of half its horrors.
But the delicate sprig Of Fifth avenuedom
has his frame cast in easier places. His
equipage is a dream on wheels, and sways in
the air like an orioles nest. Baby-carriage
fails to express the merits of il properly. 1t
is q p~erambulator.
1t is made of reed or cane, vanished or
enamelled. The rattan has an outer shell
leaving an inner cane. Both are used for
being higher-priced. The "Thetis y and the
" Galatea" are the latest and daintiest pat
front part of the perambulator is swan-shaped
at the sides and the body is like a shell.
The VOC is selected, white ash, or oak,
light but very strong. In front are two heavy
90" springs, and behind is n coil spring.
This gives the young aristocrat a most de-
licious oscillation, and all the babies on the
block who haven't got q "Galatea" turn
and writhe with envy, like young Polyphe-
muses., when they see him bob up and down
like a float.
Thu springs are nic~kel-plated, and the
wheels have q rubber tire.
Some of these urnouts have a hood of the
same material as the carriage, some have O
canopy, and some have q parasol. The para
sol hangs from q support which goes behind
the carriage and sets in a ball and socket
joint. By this arrangement II can be turned
in any direction. The parasol harmonizes in
color with the upholstery.
Tn dainty cane carriage is upholstered in
cretonne, silk tapestry, corduroy, broad:
the prettiest colors. The parasol is Of pongee
silk, or satin, with an overcover of dotted
null or Nottingham lace, with a deep hang
ing edge.
the softly padded seat, a brilliant Afghan
in q fluffy ~lamb's-wool mat, he is almost
happy. Thu carriage has q wheel-guard to
keep his surroundings tidy.
The only thing he yearns for then is q span
Of BONES, or a tandem of nurses. This is q
brilliant idea which has not yet struck his
fully matched nurse-maids will be employed,
gentle, but with a spirited action. Any fond
mammas who have wondered why baby cried
when he was put in the perambulator are
here given the benefit of this suggestion.
Give him q span of bonnes with banged locks
and locked bustles and he will be happy.
Infancy can ask no more.
The price of a perambulator of this type Is
only $50 or $50. They come even cheaper
when bought by the dozen. They are
strongly made, though 30 light, and a good
one viii last a dozen years of babies. The
Mulberry street pattern is much cheaper, and
costs no more II decorated with q tea label or
canned-fruit design. But it isn't easy to get
it over curb-stones, and leaks 30 on wet days
that the baby is liable to float out.

Standifofd rose, put on his hat, and walked
straight out of the room. He took his way
towards the small white house he knew SO

AGAINST SUNDAY CONCERTS.
Police Officials Not Satisfied with the fJpecin'
Sessions Deciriou.

Sessions Decision. ~
The decision given in the Court of Special
Sessions yesterday declaring that Sunday
concerts are lawful Is regarded by police of.
fcials as calculated TO interfere greatly with
o general enforcement of the Sunday law.
The Corporation Counse has been asked for
an opinion IN the subject, and until IL Ia re-
ceiyed Sunday concerts will not be interfered
with.
Inspector Steers said this morning: I'm
the absence of an Interpretation by q high
court of the Sunday law, the police are
bound TO respect the decision given by the
police justices in Special Sessions. This
opinion will interfere with the police enforce,
ment of the law for afew Sundays, or until
a test case can be prepared to secure an inter,
probation of the law by the upper courts. n
the decision of the Justices is good law, then
every small saloon that has o music license
can set n band, piano or orchestra ct work ON
Sunday, and the intent of the law Is de-
feated."
Precisely what course the police will take
will not be known until Corporation Counsel
O'Brien is heard from. Inspector Williams
says that he had the Eden Musee proprietors
fined $5 for giving concerts on Sunday when
he made n test case, and IL Is very likely that
the power of the Grand Jury will be invoked
against some of the Sunday concert gardens
at once.

gush as if that night was not to take Marjorie

the bandying of his own, as we'll as his wife's

China" he said, American interests were
very great, and Uncle SANS children were
looked upon very favorably. Americans are
scattered all through China in all the princi-
pal cities. There are American missionaries,
American employees of electric light and tele-
phone companies, Americans in the Chinese
service-in the army. the navy, and the
revenue service. In Shanghai l found an
American hotel called the Aston House, a
really first-class hotel, kept by an American
named Jansen, who was born and raised i'll
Il found American sail-makers, curio-
buyers. ship-builders and civil and railway
engineers. At Shanghai there are large
American factories, coal yards, warehouses,
ship yards and machine shops.
The city is divided into three sections or

were opened by the American consul, the
water being turned on by the celebrated 81
Hung Chang, the viceroy, who was very
friendly with our consul. l need not say
that American agricultural implements,
arms. ammunition and clothing are extremely
favored goods in China, as are also American
machinery and hardware.
In one of the Mitso Bishi Steamers -
continued Mrs. Davis, II had q breakfast
which surprised me a great deal. IT was un-
doubtedly- a pleasant surprise. The first
breakfast l had after leaving Shanghai for
Yokohama consisted of buckwheat cakes
and maple syrup and corn bread-the most
essentially American food, as all travellers
know. We found on board this pleasant
steamship all kinds of Yankee dishes-as
they are called there, including even (think
of this Boston baked beans and succotash.

apples and pears, just as large and fine look.

though their appearance is deceptive, fol
they are almost tasteless.
The Chinese mandarins and officials
whom | met, :" said Mr.. Davis, "all seem very
fa%vorably disposed toward Americans. Ii
fact they seem to prefer them to all Other
white races. There is no jealousy felt OF
their enterprise, as there is of that of the
English and French. The Chinese always
impressed me with the opinion that they were
DESTROYS of doing all that they could to pro
mote American Industries. The Viceroy, al

ference for the American consul"
